Meet the Pastoral Team
We are blessed to have a wonderful group of pastors who bring a variety of gifts to the service of our congregation.
Patrick Preheim, Co-Pastor |
I was raised on a small farm near the town of Henderson, Nebraska (USA). After a B.A. in history, a year of voluntary service, three years of Divinity study, and a marriage, my wife Patty and I spent ten years in Minneapolis, Minnesota co-pastoring Faith Mennonite Church. In 2007 we relocated to Saskatoon. Since then I have been shoveling snow, enjoying my bike commute to church, and feeding my wife with the best locally harvested produce in the world. Patty continues her ministry as chaplain at the Mennonite Nursing Home in Rosthern. |
Susanne Guenther Loewen, Co-Pastor
|
I was born in southern Ontario and spent a portion of my childhood in Chile, South America, where my parents were church workers, before settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I have studied at Canadian Mennonite University, where I met my husband, Kris, and subsequently earned my Master of Theological Studies degree at Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo, Ontario. I am currently finishing a Ph.D. through the Toronto School of Theology. I am passionate about the church as a community which embodies God’s peace or shalom, and am excited to be the new co-pastor at Nutana. I also enjoy spending time with Kris and our son, a good cup of coffee, reading novels, knitting, and writing.

Sarah Unrau, Youth Leader
|
My involvements with youth began as a camp counselor at Shekinah Retreat Centre which later led to my role as Summer Camp Director and School Programmer. Following these opportunities, I was involved in leading the youth group from St. John’s Lutheran Church that outreached to the Colonsay and Viscount areas.
In my free time, I enjoy dabbling in both artistic and athletic pursuits. I also find great joy in leaving everything behind to spend time camping with my husband. |
